COCCIDIOSIS IN REPLACEMENT GILTS
C.M. Gaudie, R.J. Evans and S.H. Done

Abstract
The authors describe an outbreak of coccidiosis, involving bought-in gilts. Six species of coccidia were identified. A full case history is set out and two key conclusions reached. First, the need for rigorous hygiene measures prior to the reception of replacement stock, especially those of high health status. Second, the crucial importance of submitting only acutely affected animals for disease investigation - fresh tissues being essential where examination of intestinal tissues is concerned.
